counted on the fingers. Their natural
place is IN the Democratic party. be-
lieve that majority Of them
would Loyalty remain with US, even
though the next state convention declare
against prohibition; to these latter
such treatmentt would not be magnani-
nous. But these Democrats are human.
When they remember that the great Dem
ocratlc party permitted its platform to
remain silent CT this question, while tie
clouds OF the conflict were gathering, and
when, if ever, il should have spoken; and
now that the conflict is over, that prohi-
bition is completely buried; now, that
the sky is clear and the future SHOWS no
necessity for immediate action, should
they see that party declaring prohibition
undemocratic, would they not rather and
with reasOn regard it as an arraignment
and condemnation of themselves than is
mere declaration of party principles?
And SO believing, while their passions
are yet warm, would they not resent it,
and would we not lose many loyal,
true and noble Democrats whom
we can not effoTd to lose, and whom we
might retain if we make ADVISE use Of our
great victory? We would be doing lust
what our political enemies are hoping
we winsdo. They rejoice at the prospect
Of 8 serious contest between the two
wings OF the Democratic party next year
ever this buried issue, all the way from
the precincts up to the state convention,
resulting in the probable disruption Of the
party, and the gsin to the organized
prohibition party Of several thousand
votes.
The principles of Democracy embrace
the entire field of american politics
Upon our organized Democracy, as
believe, rests the hope OF our country
and the perpetuity OF our free institu-
tions. Harmony among Democrats
which is indispensable to party vigOr-
can be preserved by wisdom and tOrbesr
ance without encouraging the growth o
prohibition sentiment. On the cthe
hand that harmony will be measurabl7

"CRUCIFY The LEADERS "

San Antonio Express (antD: Just here
the question comes up of reconstructing
the Democratic party Of Texas. Demo
crst of ordinary intelligence may have
been deceived, misled and entangled in
the meshes of the prohibition net, without
any intention of being disloyal to MS
party. But, what shall be sad CT
the high dignltsries who claimed to
be leaders, rulers in the Israel Of
Democrcy? Were they deceived? They
might have been betrayed into the
belief that the prohibition boom OF last
spring was the ground swell preceding q
popular food, the precursor OF defeat to
the hosts of Democracy; but they can
claim nothing on the score Of ignorance
as 10 the intention Of the Prohibitionists.
1t would be difficult to make the world
believe that Judas Iscariot did not know
exactly what ne was doing when he sold
Jesus Chris: for thirty pieces Of silver.

Future DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

Austin Statesman smith: The Demo
cratic party is, and always has been, an
nti-prohibition party. This is shown oy
the anti sumptuary planks IN the national
platforms. But an absolute declaration by
the next convention in this state appea rs
to be necessary, because the party in
Texas was, through the local option plank
in the Galveston platform, thrown on. OF
line with the national party. While the
Statesman does not advocate reading any
man out of the party, because he voted
for prohibition, still, the party
should, at the next conven-
ton, deliver its fat, and cut
of all chances of the question becoming
q bone OF contention inside the party II
this state. The declaration should b.
squarely against prohibition. and those
Democrats who cannot stand on such
plank, can read themselves out.
One thing is certain; If the Dem ocra.i'

FROM W. s. PENDLEToN.
FoET WORTH, Ten, Aug. Il

ROM W Ohl H. 1ENt aug 1Op 1901.
Testbe Editor of the Gazette.
Yours of the 18th inst. is received, re-
questing me to "express for publication
in THE GAZETTE my views as to what
should be the action of the next Demo
isratic state convention, in order to har-
monlze and unity the Democrats of
Texas"
My views on the subject slluded to are
naatured, and | have no hesitsncy in Civ
ing them expression.
g. l believe prohibition to be undemocratic
in principle, not in the partisan sense,
because it cannot be said to be in oppo-
sition to the expressed will of the Dem
ocrstic party in this state, but in the gen.
eral sense, because it Is Inconsistent with
the spirit and genius of free
government. SO believing, am
Fclearly OF opinion that 1t would
have been far better had the
Democracy of Texas, when prohibition
was first agitated, followed the example
of the party in other states and the ma
ton, by placing strong anti-sumptuary
plank in it's platform, expressed in
language that could not be mistaken.
Unfortunately, this was not done, and
when the amendment was submitted
Democrats were told that it was a non
partisan question, and that ones party
fealty would not be affected by his vote.
At this our political enemies rejoiced,
more in the hope Of sowing dissensons
among the Democracy than Of resping a
| prohibition victory. Their rejoicing was
not wholly without reason. Democrats,
especially in certain sections, were very
much divided on the question. And
while clearly the party has shown
large majority against prohibition, i
| cannot be denied that many OF the bes
| Democrats in the state voted for the
amendment A respectable number Of
these, no doubt, so voted from sincere
convictions that prohibition is right il
principle. A much larger number sc
voted from feeling of hostility to thu
saloon element, or for other reasons which
tsey believed sufficient, and without an,
serious reflection as to the principles Of
liberty involved. 1t may be safely sale
that most of the former class snd all O
the latter class would have remained
frmer in the party allegiance, had tn,
party platform spoken upon the subiec
in the proper way at the proper time.
But we have just emerged from the eX
citing contest. Once plunged in the fray
men became enthused and the breach be-
tween Democrats widened. Our defeate,
brethren are sill sore. They wer
tainted and threatened with excommun
seation during the canvass. They antici
pate the "reading out" process by tn
next state convention. They expect it
come in the shape Of an anti-sumptuar
declaration. 1t could come in no othe
shape. And coming at this juncture {
. crushing defeat for prohibition, wher
there is no danger in the near future tbs
the agitation will be renewed, it weul
look to them more in the nature OF repri
: sal for the past, than of provision for tn
future. These prohibition Democrats al

LOOK WELL TO DEMOCRATS BY PROFES-
SION.
San Antonio Express (anti) The EX-
press IS not the advocate Of persecution
or of unnecessary severity in the matter
of reorganizing the Democratic party OF
Texas, but there are certain duties the
true Democrats OF the state owe TO them
selves. In the reorganization which re-
cent circumstances have rendered an i'm
peratiye performance no man should be
retained in the active ranks who does not
absolutely and unequivocally renounce all
allegiance to the prohibition party and
solemnly promise to sever his connection
with the same. In primary meetings, in
the choice of delegates to conventions Of
any class, no one should be Entrusted
with the discharge OF any duty unless he
! is known to be q trus Democrat and free
! from the political here y OF prohibition.
| In fact, none but that class should be al
| lowed to take part in the proceedings. II
| is too late now fer man TO claim that
Democracy and prohibition are compati-
bic. The declarations and the actions of
the leaders of the Prohibition party are
now too conClusively opposed to Democ-
racy to allow Of any mistake. A man who
adheres to the doctrine of prohibition at
this day and date simply announces Dis
separation from theDemocratic party. The
great moguls who direct and inspire the
Prohibitionists are the declared enemies
Of the Democracy. They are leading the
movement which is intended to break the
solid south, and to disrupt the Demo
cratic party south of Mason and Dixon's
line. No man can ally himself with tha
movement and claim to be 8 Democrat.
If the Democratic party, with its time
honored principles and record, is des-
tined to defeat, let US not invite the dis
aster by an alliance with an organization
whose doctrines are subversive OF tn
} principles OF personal freedom on which
our government is based.

right to the throne, appealed TO
the Car strongly disappearing the policy
Of Prince Alexander. He determined
to restore friendship between Russia ana
Bulgaris. The friends of Prince Ferdi-
nand sent letters to the Russian imperial
Chancellor, purporting to have been writ

nand's action. The Czar thereupon, con-
vinced of Blsmarck's duplicity as taken
at the time, officially dlsapproved Prince
Ferdinand's acceptance OF the throne of

Mexico,
CLAIM IN BEHALF OF CUTTING.

CLAIM IN BEHALF OF CUTTING.
Cry OF MEXICO, Dec. at is be-
lieVed here in well informed political cir
cles that the United States government
has transmitted TO the government of
Mexico claim in behalf of Cutting, and
there is much excitement over the mat
ter. Cutting, at the time when festivities
IN honor OF American visitors has ust
concluded, and the sentiment of friend
ship between the two countries was ep-
parently never stronger, has aroused on
all sides 8 sentiment of indignation, and
the opinion is freely expressed that the
nation will never sustain the government
in paying such claim. Universal belief in
this country, and shared by resident
Americans, is that Cutting got off cheaply
after what was bold defiance of the laws
OF the state Of Chihuahua. That he should
garded as impudent.
Nacional (newspaper) urges the press
OF the country to protest as one voice
against this claim, and says: "Our gov
eminent is resolved to decline roundIy
the payment of such an absurd claim, and
in this energetic negative will be second
ed not only by all Mexicans, but by many
and judicious Americans
who recognize the right of Mexico to
deny such demand" It then calls atten-
ton to the good relations which have
lately been built up by visiting Americans
and urges that Mr.. Baysrd's mistakes
should not compromise the harmony and
good intelligence Of Mexico and the United
States.

A Nav Process in Engraving.
New York Mail and Express.

A new process OF engraving has just
been adopted by the photo-engrsvers Of
this city, which, it is said, will revC.u.
tionize the art CT engraving. The pic
ture is made direct from the photograph,
without the aid of artist or engraVer. II
is called the "ha!f tone" process, and IS
all done By the action Of light 1t gives
more artistic effect than aDy word en-
craving has ever done, and the eX-
pense, in many cases, is fully Is per
cent less. SIT is going to make illustra-
tions so cheap" Sd an officer of lead
ing photo-engraving company to re-
porter to day, shat almost every book can
be illustrated. By this method 1t has
become possible to produce plstes for
printing, with Photographic accuracy,
from photographs, washed drawings,
pencil sketches and meZz0tint prints. But
these plates, while they may be printed
on any ordinary printing machine, are not
suitable for printing in newspaper, or On
any paper which has soft finish, or with
an ink which is not stiff, as the lines are
so fiue and close that if cheap paper and
poor ink are used blurred and unsatis-
factory print will be the result. The pic
ture waen done is remarkably like pho
tograph. All the leading magazines are
adopting the pictures done by this pro-
cess as one of their special features. The
process was invented by Meissenbsch of
Vienna, Austria. Mr.. Meissenbach is one
OF the greatest chemists in this line OF
work in the world. While there has been
wonderful Improvement in photo engrav-
ing for the last few years, there has been
nothing discovered to equal this. The
process is secret, but this much of it can
be told: The result is entirely produced
by the chemical action Of light penetra-
tirg through lined negatives on chemi-
cally prepared substances, which, on be-
ing immersed in water produce molds in
which the plates are cast. When good
material and workmanship are to be had,
the process is the most satisfactory, in
its general results, OF all similar processes
heretofore and at present in use."

TIE BOY PIANIST.
Little Holman Plays for a Critical Audi
ence.
New York Star, November %.


ence.
New York Star, November 30.
Little Josef Hoffman, the boy pianist,
who IS to play with the orchestra at the
Metropolitan opera house this evening,
gave recital at Wallack's theater yes
terday afternoon before g number of
newspaper critics and invited guests. He
took part in duo for two pianos, by
Saint-Sanes upon theme of Beethoven,
and then played number of pieces,
among them the Mendelssohn rondo
caprlccioso, Chopin nocturne and
waltz, and two short pieces of his own.
The little fellow is child in appearance,
with handsome head and winning ana
intelligent expression.
Ole OF his feats wes to improvise upon
simple waltz theme given him by Mr..
Rudolf AronsOn. lie listened attentively
while Mr.. Aronson played, and scarcely
waited for the last note OF the theme be-
fore taking it up and using it with feir
musical skill in some essy modulations.
The audience present WAS very much i'm
pressed and epplauded the boy most
warmly. He received the applause as 9
matter of course, making his bows and
running his fingers over the Keys of the
piano before beginning 8 piece with all
the nonchelsnce of an adult veteran.
If 6 person accustomed to good piano
playing were to hesr young Holman
without knowing who was playing, he
would certsinly think that q pianist of
very fair ability, but by no means great
artist. was at the piano. We have in
New York scores Of pianists whose work
is f.r stronger In every way than young
Hofmann's. Coming from an adult, such
playing as he gave his critics yesterday
afternoon would not be considered re-
coming from child of ten, it
is marvellous. Playing with en- orchestra
of 100 men, as he will do tonight, the
effect he produces is likely to be still
more marked.
